I've been working on the issues I mentioned in my last update, good progress so far! I found a course I'm going to follow for fur, and have been reading anatomy books and watching videos, as well as practicing how I analyze references (I was going about that in a poor way before as it turns out)
By the end of that I imagine I'll be able to produce much better fur than I can currently, and hopefully much faster! Anatomy will be tougher, that really can only get better with practice BUT I do know a lot more now than I did
Next week I should have something concrete to show but at the end of this course I'll have a new model to make renders with in the meantime before my next anthro model!
